"The automaker has announced that it will build 30 of them by 2025, with many going on sale in the U.S. " Cool. How many GWH of battery cells do they need to achieve their goal? How many of each model are they targeting as an annual run rate? Does LG / GM have contracts with suppliers in place...

No cobalt for sure... but Nickel is definitely in recipe for the future of 4680 cells.

I posted this in a previous thread regarding what it would cost to drive 200miles in a CT vs an ICE equivalent. Like Newton said, it depends on your local price of fossil fuel and electricity rates. Note that most areas have off peak rates for overnight which you can inquire about from your...

My wife HATES the look of the CT. However, I'm not paying 20k extra for a prettier less capable vehicle. Although the Rivian looks really good in black...

I think most don't drive crew cab 1/2 tons now. The size is perfect. It doesn't need any dimensional changes that I can see. Park outside or build a bigger garage. This is designed to compete in the f150 market, not the Colorado / Ranger segment.

Hahaha. "I'm concentrating on Nick Cola." I watch autoline and have for a few years. Its a decent show for the most part. This one was the most out of touch episodes I can remember. The boomers on there have gone from bringing up Tesla as a joke to finally realizing it's a legit player. Funny...

If they offer a standard spring option, I will definitely take it. Air ride is awesome when it works. The best part is no part. Will still take the onboard compressor though. Handy AF.

Elon, what is your Fidelity account login information?

Its tough to project accurately since we don't know the actual efficiency of the CT yet, or the kwh pack size. Assume the tri-motor is a 200kwh pack. 200 kwh / 500miles of range = 0.4kwh per mile or 400wh/mile. Then use the electricity rates in your area to determine your costs. In my area...

Why they haven't released a 100kwh Model 3/Y is beyond me. 400+ mile range is definitely not what the majority of people need on a daily basis, but for some it is absolutely necessary. Maybe once the 4680s start hitting mass production / consistent high yield they will make the option available.

This is the way. But seriously, i might finally sell some shares if it goes over $700 on inclusion day. Not all of them... but damn you have to take profits at some point. (Non IRA)

Yea man I looked at the Geolanders too. Couldn't justify the cost difference but it is a nice tire. Trust me. If there is an 18" or 17" wheel option for the CT I'm all over it. My guess is that 20" rim will be the default/minimum wheel size. Won't be opposed to buying an aftermarket wheel/tire...

I have these on the Ram right now with 20 inch rims. They are only 32s but its a nice look. 35s are damn expensive. These were only about $155 a piece in my area.

Well we have information from battery day. 56% cost reduction per kwh. The question is if they will pass along 100% of the savings to the end user initially (Cybertruck initial production). My guess is probably not until 4680 production ramp and yeilds are satisfactory and across multiple...

Even the new Ram TRX with a supercharged 6.2L hemi with 700+ horsepower... guess what. 4.5 seconds 0-60. At minimum its 72 grand. 20 more than the dual motor CT. The ICE age is over. The dinosaurs (TRX, Raptor) just don't know it yet.

I'm just going to leave this here... Know Your Towing Terms Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) This is the weight of the vehicle plus the maximum allowable weight for occupants and cargo that the vehicle can safely handle. The GVWR is shown on the vehicle’s certification label on the...

1. Electric - if its not... im not in the market for a new truck. Im not paying 90 - 100k for a new vehicle period. I want nothing to do with a hybrid system. 2. FSD - I want to be able to sit in the back and have it drive me where i want to go. I know this is a call option for the future, but...

Gotcha. The whole parking space issue is a non starter for me. If you drive a 1\2 ton truck now, then there won't be much difference. With the air suspension you may be able to get into tighter garages where vertical clearance is limited. With that said, I realize that some here dont have...

From what I found the Model X is: " Tesla Model Xs have a total length of 16’6” (198.3” | 503.6 cm) " CT is about 3 feet longer.

It all comes down to the data. Once Tesla can show that it has safety data that far exceeds human capability while fully autonomous without intervention, its only a matter of time. Whamo already is getting the ball rolling regulation wise in geo fenced areas, so Tesla isn't a first mover there...
